"Surf Walkers" Award

2007-07-02T21:23:00.001-04:00

Yesterday, Larry and I went to the opening of Exhibition II at the North Shore Arts Association in Gloucester where this painting, "Surf Walkers" received the Beverly A. DeMont Memorial Award. It was a glorious day by the shore, the coolish dry Canadian air a relief after last weeks heat wave. The new show and the sculpture exhibit are well worth a visit.

still life demo

2007-03-04T16:34:00.000-05:00

I chose the objects for this still life because
of the complementary colors blue and orange.Step1--Drawing....nothing fancy or detailed, just a pleasing arrangement of shapes.

Step2--Find and lay in the big shape of the darkest darks.

Step3-- Lay in the big shape of the mid tones seeking the relative differences in tone,intensity and temperature. I also put in a stroke of the lightest light as a reference to help see the relative differences in value.

Step4-- Lay in the big shape of the lighest areas of the painting, noting the relative differences in tone, intensity and temperature. I am not painting "things", just the big shapes of light, midtone and darks that the light makes over the whole scene.

Step5--finish----coming soon!
